Link to Win!
For every 50 VIC card links between now and September 30, 2017, Selwyn will receive one drawing entry to win $500 for the school. But that’s not all we will win! Sir Purr will pay us a visit, bringing Panthers swag for every student! He will be joined by the Harris Teeter Ice Cream Truck filled with frozen treats for all.
Parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, friends, and neighbors…please go online now to link or re-link your Harris Teeter VIC Card to Selwyn Elementary (#1736). There will also be sign up sheets in each classroom at Back To School Night on September 19.
Once linked, your purchase of Harris Teeter brand products will earn money for our school. Thank you for supporting Selwyn Elementary!
Go Panthers!!

Back to School Night – next week
Selwyn Elementary’s Back To School Night is Tuesday, September 19 at 6:15 pm. The evening will begin in the Multi-Purpose Room with a brief PTA meeting and followed by classroom visits. During classroom visits, your child’s teacher will cover class-specific rules, structure, curriculum, and more. After twenty minutes, a bell will signal the end of the first session. Parents with more than one student may then visit a second classroom.
